About Us
Meet the Creators Behind Chicken of the Woods
Chicken of the Woods was started by four friends who believed mushrooms could make comfort food more exciting, more sustainable, and way more fun to cook.
The Cook
Lives in the kitchen testing sauces, marinades and week‑night dishes until the mushroom “chicken” tastes just right.
The Nature Nerd
Obsessed with forests and fungi, always looking for new ways mushrooms can replace meat without losing that satisfying bite.
The Numbers Brain
Keeps an eye on ingredients, sourcing, and costs so mushroom‑powered food can stay accessible for real people, not just foodies.
The Storyteller
Turns all of this into a brand, from the packaging to the posts, making sure Chicken of the Woods feels playful, honest, and community‑driven.
From idea to brand
What started as late‑night experiments with mushroom “chicken” for friends slowly turned into a bigger idea: a brand built on fungi that could help people swap a little less meat, one plate at a time. Over months of testing recipes, talking to other students and cooks, and learning about mushroom protein, the four of us decided to turn Chicken of the Woods into something people could actually buy, cook, and share.
